Old ShepWritten and Recorded by Red Foley [3/4 time]

C A7 D7When I was a lad and old Shep was a pup G7 CO'er hills and meadows we'd strayed A7 D7Just a boy and his dog we were both full of fun G7 CWe grew up together that way

F CI remember the time at the old swimming hole D7 G7When I would have drowned beyond doubtC A7 D7Shep was right there to the rescue he came G7 CHe jumped in and helped pull me out

A7 D7So the years sped along and at last he grew old G7 CHis eye sight was fast growing dim A7 D7Then one day the doctor looked at me and said G7 CI can't do no more for him Jim

F CWith a hand that was trembling I picked up my gun D7 G7I aimed it at Shep’s faithful head C A7 D7I just couldn't do it I wanted to run G7 CAnd I wished they'd shoot me instead

A7 D7I went to his side and I sat on the ground G7 CHe laid his head on my knees A7 D7I stroke the best pal that a man ever found G7 CI cried so I scarcely could see

F COld Sheppie he knew he was going to go D7 G7For he reached out and nipped at my hand C A7 D7He looked up at me just as much as to say G7 CWe're parting but you'll understand

C A7 G7 CNow old Shep is gone where the good doggies go Am D7 G7And no more with old Shep will I roam C A7 D7But if dogs have a heaven there's one thing I know G7 COld Shep has a wonderful home
